Joanne Hamilton –
This tang has been in my 75-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s active but not aggressive, and it doesn’t bother the corals. The white tail and yellow eye make it a striking addition to the display. Feeding is easy with a mix of algae wafers and frozen foods.
Nicola Peters –
I added this tang to my tank after reading about its peaceful nature. It’s adapted well and has started grazing on algae. I appreciate that it doesn’t stress the reef community. A good choice for intermediate reef keepers.

The fish is vibrant and active. It’s easy to spot in the tank due to its distinct coloration. I’ve had no issues with it damaging corals or showing aggression. It’s a reliable and attractive species.
